Kolkata, West Bengal – The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) reached RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata as part of their ongoing probe into corruption charges against former principal Sandip Ghosh. The visit, which took place earlier today, is a crucial step in the investigation that has drawn significant attention in academic and political circles.
Sandip Ghosh, who previously served as the principal of RG Kar Medical College, is under investigation following allegations of financial irregularities and corruption during his tenure. The charges reportedly involve misuse of institutional funds and other financial discrepancies, prompting the CBI to launch an investigation after complaints were raised.
The ACB team’s visit to the prestigious medical college is aimed at gathering further evidence and speaking with relevant officials and staff to better understand the scope of the alleged malpractice. According to sources, the team inspected various administrative departments within the college, scrutinizing documents and financial records to identify any potential mismanagement or unlawful activities.
The investigation into Sandip Ghosh comes amidst heightened scrutiny over corruption cases in educational institutions across India, including West Bengal. Authorities believe that a thorough probe will help establish the extent of Ghosh’s involvement in these activities, and if found guilty, it could set a precedent for dealing with corruption within public institutions.
RG Kar Medical College, one of the oldest and most renowned medical institutions in Kolkata, has been at the center of controversy since these allegations surfaced. Students, faculty, and staff are reportedly cooperating with the investigation, although concerns have been raised about the reputation of the institution.
The CBI’s involvement in the case underscores the seriousness of the charges, with investigators working meticulously to ensure a fair and transparent inquiry. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
For now, all eyes are on the outcome of this case, which may have far-reaching implications for administrative integrity in higher educational institutions across West Bengal and beyond.
